Thanks for the whole explanation. One last question(know have asked tons of questions already): How to disable Wifi Calling, as I will be flashing this on AT&T S3. Want to save as much battery as possible
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] caddermeran:
Same here. Also dirty flashed over 4.1.2. I haven't done a speed test but network feels the same.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Its under the network and wifi options. just uncheck wifi calling.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheArtiszan:
Great rom was able to get everything setup.

I removed the google hangouts apk and installed google talk instead since I don't like that interface at all.

But I can seem to get it to sign in.

Anyone else have the same problem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
did you install as a system app? if not try that. or if so try instalking normally as a user app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheArtiszan:
I have tried both ways sadly

Didn't work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bbrennan:
Have read here on xda, with regards to gtalk, google was suppose to disable it or something along those line and permanently replace it with Hangouts and make it where you couldn't sign in. Dont quote me on this just from what I had read on here. There maybe no truth to it or there maybe, but that might be your problem jumping onto a 4.3 rom, maybe?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Maxamillion:
Is anyone still having issues with none of the calls going through with the new modems?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TanKCR:
WiFi Tether?

So I been reading through the posts ut I am not finding anything having to do with WiFi tether, when I try to enable wifi tether with a 3rd party app the tmobile message pops up saying I don't have it, and it shuts back off. Is there a workaround for that? My wife also told me that I sounded like I was in a tunnel when we talked, and she had a hard time hearing me. One other item, when I tried to make a call with the voice over wifi feature it never dials, it just goes silent for a few secs, then ends the call...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
Same here. Gtalk works fine on 4.1.2 but unable to sign in on 4.3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
for tethering, there will be a mod posted tonight. everything else sounds like symptoms that you could probably solve by a factory reset.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
i just saw your other post about this. why are you using the pure stock rom? Try the deodexed knox free to see if it helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TanKCR:
So oddly all the tunnel sound needed was a couple reboots, weird... Anyway looking forward to your mod I live on my AP!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MAFU21:
Doc

The question is...

Im on the leak#2. Can i flash the new official rom or I should stay on the leak? What is the difference between one and the other. Im really confused about the last few post saying that dont flasb the official firmware. Will appreciate ypur help in this one. I already download the new one. What about the kernel? Wich one the official rom has? So i can check if the wifi works on me.

Is the new official rom knox free and selinux permissive too?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mannequin:
want to update gf's phone, she's running stock 4.1.2 rooted with ktoonsez's kernel.

is it OK to flash T999_Official_Deodexed_UVUEMJC.zip + TMOGalaxyS3_UVUEMJC_Modem.zip + UCUEMJ2_Insecure_kernel.zip just on top of that through TWRP without a risk of losing anything?

i'm confused about the bootloader / firmware update but from i'm reading it's not needed in that case?

thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheArtiszan:
Hello all,

I have noticed that as a stock rom this did have the tethering restrictions on it still from T-Mobile

I have edited a few files from the rom to enable this.

If you add framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ and the other two files to /system/csc

reboot then restore default apns that will allow wifi tethering to work

I am researching as to why bluetooth tethering option is there but not working.

Here is a link to the files that I made.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5iZA-5UMtS4QnBmRTF1cHVDbHM/edit?usp=sharing

This can be made into a flashable zip but as of right now they require manual replacement.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] caddermeran:
That's what I did. I was on dandroid 4.1.2 I only wiped cache and dalvik cache. Everything works great.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mannequin:
ah thanks! just debating if the update worth it since ktoonsez's kernel helped a lot with overall stock performance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Talon25:
Installing from 4.1.2 Roms

Hey guys, just thought I would post this to help out with the installs and clarification both for people new to this or reiterating what Doc has already said. Basically, with issues still with the T-Mo WiFi and possibly other unknown issues, still use the AT&T Leaked Kernel until the T-Mo one can be fixed/updated! This is for people coming from 4.1.2 like myself and the steps I took to make this rom work :)

1) Make a nandroid backup and if using Titanium Backup - put backup apps on external SD card

2) Download these three files:

T999_Official_Deodexed_UVUEMJC (Link on main page)

TMOGalaxyS3_UVUEMJC_Modem (Link on main page)

UCUEMJ2_Insecure_kernel (Search Doc's posts for link)

2) Place files on your external SD card

3) Boot into recovery (Either TWRP or CWM) and do a wipe cache/data reset and a dalvik cache reset

4) Install T999_Official_Deodexed_UVUEMJC ROM, the modem, then the kernel (Flash one after another, no reboots between each flash)

5) Reboot phone, wait a few minutes, set it up and ENJOY! Thanks Doc for the files and help!

NOTE: On the reboot it might ask about fixing root because of the flash, this happened to me and I said yes Fix It and seems to be working fine.

EDIT: When you boot up and think your pictures, music, etc is gone that was on your phone before everything has been moved to:

/mnt/shell/emulated

Use ES File Explorer with root, adb, droid explorer, etc to get to the files/move them.

As for About Device information for past and now

A stupid question: I am using root66 4.1.2 rom with stock recovery right now. I plan to install cwm recovery and flash this rom. I know install cwm will trigger flash counter and it will be triggered by rebooting even after using triangle away ti reset it. My question is will the flash couter increase by one every time I boot my phone and become a very large number or just stay at 1?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
What difference it makes if it is 1 or more meaning remains same so I feel it will trigger to one but should not increase on every boot

If you are using custom recovery then you have to overlook this and enjoy beauty of custom roms
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Here is the flashable zip!

I just need someone to test it out. Both to make sure it flashes ok, and then functions as expected. Once verified, I will add to the OP.

Lol! Does the portal have something against T-Mobile? For more information they didn't even link to our forum, just to support.tmobile.com! I just found it curious so figured Id post somewhere!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jim45:
Same thing happened to me shortly after Hangouts was released. I refused the updates whenever they showed, and after a while Talk just stopped working unless I updated to Hangouts. It seems like Google may have made some server-side changes that rendered the old Talk app incompatible with their service.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thompsd:
Just flashed and while it works I still get the tmo up sell, just thought I'd let you know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SovPanda:
hey quick question,

if i flash T999_Official_UVUEMJC_Deodexed_KnoxFree and if there is something i do not like, would i be able to do a back up of a 4.1.2 rom i have backed up, but also do the unrooting process/resetting the counter thing to bring it back to stock 4.1.2? I'm asking because i got a cracked screen on the side and would like to use the warranty on it later on
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Yes you can reset the counter by triangle away and without reboot Odin to stock rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheArtiszan:
What are you tethering to and what browser are you using?

This mainly bypasses the lockout from the device side.

If you use chrome (or any browser might have an add-on) get user agent switcher and set it to ie 8.

There are catches on T-Mobile's end that will redirect based on some other newer agent id. That one will still work though for most sites.

A quick test would be to try https://www.Google.com

If that loads it is the user agent id being blocked.

WiFi Tether

I am testing the tethering package right now, will let you know ASAP.

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

halfway there, I can now enable my wifi ap, but all devices connected now get the tmo access page regardless of browser spoofing or port used. I tried the wifi tether app as well, and it won't start successfully.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

I am going to Titanium my apps then factory reset and see if it makes a dif, a couple of my apps are force closing anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whitemdx03:
If I already updated to 4.3 via OTA, will flashing this rom: T999_Official_UVUEMJC_Deodexed_KnoxFree remove the warranty bit (currently, warranty bit = 0) and allow me to downgrade to 4.1.2 without bricking the phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] googlephone:
You can not go back at this point. It is an one way upgrade if you did OTA upgrade.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TanKCR:
No such luck, wifi tether app crashes, and the built in tether still bringing up the tmo page on other devices.

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

is there somewhere in the menu where I can enable long press to kill apps? I cant seem to find it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:

Awesome! Thanks for all your work doc! As as an fyi, I just flashed the csc mods that you posted in the third post. Some if them seam to work perfect and some don't show up at all. I will try to make a list later on as to witch ones don't seam to be working on my phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] k3y.m8ney:

Just wondering if you need any logs or anything to help with the WiFi AP
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Talon25:
Just for everyone wondering where their data went from their phone when flashing this, it can be found now under the following directory:

/mnt/shell/emulated

You can use ES File Explorer with root, ADB, or Droid Explorer on the computer to view the files - hopes not lost :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kamau54:
Quick question about this item.

When you say install them, do you flash each one and reboot separately, or do you just flash one after the other, then reboot?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Talon25:
Flash one after another (all three) then reboot. I'll edit and clarify, thanks!

EDIT: Instructions updated!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SovPanda:
root app delete doesn't want to work on the official release, does that one mess up with root?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Talon25:
It's possible the app itself has not been updated to work with Android 4.3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SovPanda:
oh okay, thank you just found one that works
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you tried changing the User Agent on the client device?

Long press to kill isn't a stock option in Touchwiz. Has to be added via a mod.

Thatd be great! I expected some to work and others not to. Had only tested one or two before I bricked. Thanks for the report!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nsxalwayz:
is there a debloated version of the ROM based on the official 4.3? Or can i just flash the debloater in Aerowinder's sig?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sincitybronze:
I've attempted to download T999_Official_Deodexed_UVUEMJC a couple times (tried two different mirrors) and could only download about 640 MB before the download just ends. Any suggestions or is there another download location?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
There's still the leakd rom that's debloated. Not sure how well [MENTION=4788211]Aerowinder[/MENTION]'s debloater scripts will work with 4.3.

You could alwsys try it, and if it causes problems reflash the rom.

Ill upload a mirror at dev-host in a few. Appears AFH is moving to a different company to host their servers since the other became plagued with problems. There will possibly be issues for another week or so while they make the move. Sorry for all the trouble. They are usually the best I've ever used.

Ill post once the op is updated with the mirror.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tp2215:
People have been complaining about Android File Host acting all wonky lately. I would just try to keep downloading from different mirrors on the bottom of the download page. One of them will finish eventually.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Talon25:
I had trouble with that too, Mirror one worked best for me (tried to choose the closest me) good luck.

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

I'd suggest just run the pro version of Titanium Backup (well worth the cost whatever it is can't remember when I bought it). Go to Backup/Restore after that and start uninstalling apps. I have list that I used for this app if it will help - just let me know and I can post.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yeah, if you are going to use afh, the best bet is to stay away from the IL servers for now.

TiB is also excellent for testing an unknown app before removal. Just freeze it and if you have any subsequent bugs, you know you need it and just thaw it out! If no issues, either keep frozen or uninstall.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tigim101:
I flashed from an AOSP Based Rom, I did wipe/reset and format, and I seem to have lost root. A lot of options are also grayed out in the device info section of the phone. If I want to go back to an AOSP Rom, do I just boot into recovery, flash root, then flash Rom + Gapps? Also everytime I do a wipe and data reset and system format in recovery, I still have all my data for some reason, it stays on the phone, im running the latest recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Seems to me this is more of an issue with that rom, not this one. If you think it has to do with flashing the official 4.3 full firmware or ota update, you might post it in the Q&A 4.3 thread, but more likely it should go in your roms thread instead.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Talon25:
Are you also wiping cache (not just dalvik)? What Recovery are you using? Were you prompted after flashing the ROM for two things they are something to the effect of:

1) This ROM might flash stock recovery do you want to fix it?

2) This ROM might not have root do you want to fix it?

I also pressed back on the first question and it would reset and then if I got to the second questions I pressed yes, fix it. You could try letting the phone boot up after the clean install, then go BACK into recovery (take the battery out when you get to the Welcome Android screen to pick your language) and when selecting restart device if it prompts again for root.

If you want to go back to your AOSP ROM I would say go from a Nandroid backup. I am not sure how the phone will react to flashing it with the new firmware. With that said, you could try wiping, flashing older firmware first from root66's forum, then your ROM, then Gapps. I HAVE NOT tried that and don't know if it will soft/hard brick your phone. I DID go from a AOSP 4.3 ROM back to a 4.1 ROM from Nandroid with no issues. Good luck man.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tigim101:
I had IOKP, the 11-17 build. I have clockwork 6.0.4.3. with touch. I also wiped cache, formatted system, and did a factory reset. For some reason though I keep all my data, my onboard storage looked untouched. It happened when I tried to wipe from cm 10.1 to go to IOKP, and now when i tried to wipe to go from I OKP to deodexed 4.3. I was prompted that the Rom might flash stock recovery, and I pressed yes to fix. The phone rebooted twice then hung for a bit on the word Samsung, then booted into touchwiz. I had no prompt about losing root, at least I don't remember one. I wouldn't mind staying on this if I can have root. Can I flash any stock TW based 4.3 rom and root to do this? What would happen if I did the OTA update? If also there is another way to wipe your phone other than recovery id like to know.

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Talon25:
If it was me, I would try to wipe again and do what you did over again with flashing deodexed 4.3. I would not suggest doing the OTA update. When prompted about flashing stock recovery just press back - I never selected Yes or No on that question. You should be prompted for root after that, in which case press yes. Try that let us know if it works.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tigim101:
Since I lost root would I have to re root for this to work? Would the prompt still come back? I do still have supersu installed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Talon25:
So supersu and nothing with root works at all? If you had a backup honestly I'd revert to that and see if it works. I'm honestly not 100 percent sure on re rooting I don't want to give you wrong advice
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tigim101:
I rebooted my phone and ran super su again and the binary install worked. I ran setcpu and it asked for root permission, and SE Android now shows permissive. Ill continue to the play with the phone but everything looks ok, just a little slow compared to AOSP. Thanks

Does anyone know if mobile hotspot usage can be bypassed with a stock TW Rom like this?

I know TWRP 2.6.x.x has been reported to have some bugs. So it may be best to go with CWM for backups. TWRP 2.6 is fine for flashing, I just can't remember what the problem was exactly with nandroid on that....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
I had to wipe then restore my backup twice. First time I tried my backup (leak #1 debloated) it hung on the Samsung splash screen. Booted back to recovery wiped and restored again. All is well. :)

Just to clarify, you attempted to restore the data portion of your nandroid made on Leak #1 debloated, to this new leak? Thats where it bootlooped? Also were you using TWRP or CWM? What version?
